Happy Thanksgiving

Feast with friends and family and reflect on the national holiday and the long list of good things we've all got to be grateful for. Then rest up for the equally stuffed (with fun) holiday weekend ahead.

An artful afternoon

Get to know one of Mississippi's most significant artists with a visit to the exhibition "To Paint and Pray: The Art and Life of William R. Hollingsworth Jr." at the Mississippi Museum of Art. This stunning exhibition remains on view through Jan. 13; admission is $5 adults, $3 students. Pictured here is his portrait "Billy & Boy." The art museum will be closed today for Thanksgiving, but keep regular hours the remainder of the weekend.

Full-grown fun

Fans know the Webb Wilder Credo by heart and legend is, it was concocted right here in Jackson: "Work hard. Rock hard. Eat hard. Sleep hard. Grow big. Wear glasses if you need 'em." Do all that and hear some prime and playful roots rock, too, in a Friday night show at Hal & Mal's in the Red Room, 8 p.m. Stick around for The Molly Ringwalds in the Big Room next door. Doors open at 7 p.m.

Hats off (and on)!

The 21st annual Holiday Top Hat Brunch, a fun and fashionable focus on crowning glories, is Saturday at the Jackson Hilton Hotel. Join the fun for holiday shopping that starts at 9 a.m. and the popular brunch and legendary Parade of Hats Competition at 11 a.m. (seating starts at 10:30 a.m.). Tickets are $40 each; call (601) 362-1115.
